It might be the peak of summer, but London crooner Billy Lockett is bringing the heat.

His new single "Hands Tied" arrived on Friday and it's absolutely a must-hear offering. From the lush piano building to his sultry falsetto, the song is entrancing.

According to the singer, the track is about "coming to your senses after being in a brain washing relationship," he said, adding: "I love it because it's about accepting that you lost yourself and did some things that were out of character, but you are now ready to move on and learn from the mistakes. It's the song I’m most proud of writing."
